Current Status

AMIANTIT TECHNOLOGY

Where have we reached – summary?

FTEC-LCA was updated using European Average Environmental Data for main Raw Materials > Glass Fiber and Polyester Resin

FTEC-LCA was critical reviewed by thinkstep one of Europe’s leading LCA consultants;

The updated EPD-Report is now available at FTEC;

FTEC is now working on a Calculation Tool to produce tailored EPD-Declarations for specific projects;

FTEC participates in different European Workgroups, including TC155/WG27 > PCR Standard for Plastic Pipes is in final stage

Challenges in the Market

• Different Requirements from Customers (what Eco-Data’s are needed?)

• Product Comparison is not standardized – „tailored“ and „sponsored“ comparison-reports are creating challenges

• Country Specific Systems (e.g. Netherlands > Cradle to Cradle Certification, CO2 Performance Ladder…)

• PCR-System is still somehow run by „National“ bodies;

• Other Environmental Declaration Systems are currently discussed (also on EU-Level);

• Declared Values/Reports are copied by Competitors and presented as “Generic Results”

• Recycling of GRP > Solution in the Cement Industry currently only available in Germany

• Specific Data from a lot of Raw Material Suppliers not yet available
